My first Terracore raid

To make things clear it's a personal terracore post and it's a Raid one.

I'm not sure what it is all about but nevertheless I have decided to take part in raid, which rules you can find here.

And here's my result. Nothing special. I don't really see the reason to boost Damage since dice rolls can make things this misearable.

However something interesting happened later. Look at these logs and notice I have attacked a bot farm and somehow didn't receive any significant loot despite rolling some pretty good percentage. Do they receive an info on incoming attack or it was just a coincidence that my attack happened simultaneously with someone else's.

As for develpoments of my journey, despite upgrading the Engineering by 2 levels in order to mint mint crate I would need to mine scrap for 20 days (a week ago it was 19 days, 2 weeks ago it was 12 days). Don't really know what to do. How to keep up? Or maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here, maybe pursuing planet travelling isn't worth it.

I suppose there's a reason behind planets, quests and experience system would benefit those daring.
